-Ar Verbs

To conjugate regular -ar verbs in the present tense add the following endings to the verb stem:

yo

-o

tú

-as

él/ella/Ud.

-a

nosotros

-amos

vosotros

-áis

ellos/ellas/Uds.

-an

Example - hablar / to speak

he speaks

nosotros

Note

In Spanish you do not usually need to use the pronoun (yo, tú, Ud, etc), because the verb ending indicates
who the verb refers to. You can simply use hablo (I speak), hablamos (we speak) etc.

Only use the pronouns if the meaning is ambiguous, or for emphasis.
